ESPN did a top 150 prospects rankings yesterday: Updated 2025 MLB draft rankings: Top 150 prospects -- and a mini-mock draft

47. Alec Blair (18.7), CF, De La Salle HS (CA), Oklahoma commit


Probably can count on him not stepping foot on campus.

It mentions that he may be signable for the right price -- lots of times, teams will pay over slot value for a second or third round guy if they decide to save a little money on their top pick. If a team really likes him, and knows he might require more money to bypass college, they could go that route.

Correct, Last year the second round signing bonus ranged 1.12m to 3.8m. Third round ranged from 620k to 2.5m, Obviously high school kids are at the top of those ranges, college guys are the ones signing for less. Some of the high school kids are signing for double what there slot value says.

OU baseball functioned this last off season with 500k ish, Don't see Porter parting with much cash if the kids a better baseball prospect. Idk, right now I lean him signing.

as of last month he said in an interview that he was going to school to play bball and baseball .. so we shall see ..

clearly there would be some dollar value where he would be dumb to not turn pro ..


I guess we won't know for sure until july ..

I don’t put much stock in what he says. He obviously is trying to increase his leverage. If he were to say that he is leaning toward signing, it hurts his bargaining power.

Are you saying OU baseball spent $500k total?

Because I know some of the pitchers and Carmichael got more than that. Way more than that, combined.

Teams like the Pirates are big on paying over slot for 2-4 round guys and drafting guys in the 1st that they can sign under slot.
 
Bored with no basketball to watch now that the NBA season is over, so I’ve been watching OU games from last season. Just watched the Ole Miss game where Dayton went nuclear. I think even with the influx of guard talent we’ve gotten this year, he should be given a fair chance to be a starter. I genuinely believe he has a chance to be a REALLY good college basketball player.

I’m pretty sure Xzayvier Brown is locked into a starting spot, but Dayton might just be better than Pack. Especially on the defensive end.

I'm hoping pack and brown are better.. but that could be a good problem if not. Dayton proved a lot of doubters wrong. Now let's see what he can do with higher expectations. I thought moser's rotations with Dayton were weird sometimes last year too.

Wait -- so Dayton is now better than a guy who was previously All Big 12 player, Big 12 Most Improved, 40% three point shooter over 5 seasons, 2 to 1 career assist to turnover ratio, and 2022 Midwest Region Most Outstanding Player?

I LOVE Dayton and think he can have a Payton Pritchard type career, but Pack has been there, done that. He's a starter day one, period.

Yeah. I didn't say that, the other guy did.
 
Brown, Pack, & Davis are locked in starters. Reid, Wague, & Jones are options to start. Nwanko & Forsyte will get quality minutes.
